Top service, definitely amongst the best I've experienced anywhere! We were offered seating inside, bar seating or outside. We chose outside. Heater immediately turned on for us and knee blankets supplied. Waitress was friendly and efficient, happy to take a minute from her busy routine to take some pictures for us

Had an amazing experience here for a work dinner. The staff was amazing and offered great recommendations for food and drinks.

Would highly recommend Vivace for either a nice date night, or social gathering.

Amazing food and service. The special with brussel sprouts was incredible, as was the chocolate mousse!

Had a sibling’s catch up dinner for six people. Excellent side bar to wait for all the guests to make to the city. All thoroughly enjoyed our night out. Food, service and wine were great. We’ll be back.

Vivace is now our go-to for special occassions. Gene and Mandy are the most lovely and accommodating hosts/owners, while their compassion and dedication is reflected in their staff.

Over the last few years we have had the pleasure of trying most of their menu, and have not once been disappointed. Their chef is absolutely fantastic. Vivace is one of few places I'm comfortable trying new dishes, because they take a lot of care and pride in every dish they serve. Some of our guests are gluten free or vegan (while two are gluten free AND vegan). Vivace's menu has options even then, which goes a long way when planning a gathering.

I'm not a wine or beer drinker, but my partner loves the dark beer they have. I like their cocktails, with a selection of different options and excellent mocktails if I don't want more alcohol.

The decor and layout is perfect for the restaurant - high ceilings and wooden decor isn't necessarily a combination I would expect but they certainly pull it off. I enjoy the kitchen being visible as well. The outdoor seating and restaurant location is fantastic. They have a lovely bar as well, which is somewhat separated from the main dining area - a small factor which goes a long way!

Vivace is our favourite restaurant in Auckland, and for good reason. While they're a little out of our normal date night budget, we keep coming back because it is well worth it.

A group of friends went to Vivace for dinner and it was amazing! The food was delicious and the service was so warm and friendly. Our waiter, Levi was hilarious and gave us great recommendations. We will definitely be back next time we visit Auckland.

Me and my two friends had such a lovely evening at this place! The food was delicious (the mozzarella balls especially) their drinks were delightful, and the people at the restaurant were incredibly warm and welcoming! Great service, we came away feeling very content:)

I don't normally post reviews but tonight's dinner was truly flawless. The service is top notch. I had the Chicken Thigh while my friend had the Fish of the Day, both of us have not had a meal that truly delicious and flavourful in a long time, the desserts were also delicious. We enjoyed some cocktails with our meals, they very moreish.

An excellent location, with delicious food, great wines and atmosphere to enhance a great visit. Delicious entrees/tapas to share, mains that satisfy, and greedy desserts to finish off. The varied menu will have something for all the team. Always an enjoyable visit

Vivace Restaurant are the best - Mandy and Gene from Vivace hosted my car club wine tasting event on Friday night for 15 people. The people, the staff did an amazing job - The food was impressive and the risotto was to die for as was the wine list. Everyone had a great time and everything was perfect. We used the back room to host our event and the guys even set up all the tables for us. I cant thank the guys enough and look forward to dining there again soon. Totally recommend anyone looking to hold a function to use the team at Vivace - Antonio Monteleone

Service was below average - there was a group of us & not even 10minutes into being in the restaurant a waitress dropped a cocktail on my friend and so she was saturated and smelling of alcohol all night. There was no apology & the spilt drink was left all over the ground for 45 minutes before it was cleaned. The food was mediocre but the cocktails were delicious.
